Chapter 179 Counterattack Chaisang(1/2)

The outside of the west city of Chaisang is not as flat and spacious as the north city. The river is crisscrossing, the woods are lush, and several low hills are undulating and uneven. Large siege weapons are not allowed to drive. There are rocks near the city walls, making it difficult to walk, and there are only a few paths set up manually.

But near the city wall, there is a small temple covering an area of ​​several acres. This is the Jiangshen Temple in Chaisang, a place to worship Jiangshen.

Every spring and autumn, there will inevitably be a steady stream of boatmen and merchants coming here to worship the Jiang God and pray for safety in the boat. This Jiang God Temple was built by the Tao family, so it is usually managed by the Tao family.

During this period, due to the war breaking out in Chaisang, the Jiangshen Temple was closed, and the surroundings were deserted and no one came to worship. At night, Liu Jing led a hundred elite soldiers to sneak into the Jiangshen Temple. The soldiers knocked the temple Zhu unconscious and surrounded the statue of the Jiangshen statue.

The Jiang God is also the water god Gonggong. He holds a steel fork in his hand and looks ferocious. The statue is cast in pig iron, which is as high as one meter and five feet, and the weight is even more than a thousand pounds.

As several soldiers pushed hard, the statue of Jiang Shen began to creak and lifted an iron plate. A dark hole appeared under the seat, which was the exit of the Tao family secret passage.

Liu Jing held an oil lamp in his hand. When the foul air flowed out, he took the lead in entering the secret passage. Like the other end of the secret passage, the secret passage was very narrow and allowed only one person to pass. He had to lower his head and bend forward. The soldiers followed Liu Jing, moving forward quickly one after another without hesitation, without any pause.















Perhaps because of Sun Quan's preferential treatment, the Tao family was not attacked by the soldiers in Jiangdong, and Lu Meng also restrained the soldiers and did not allow anyone to enter the Tao family to harass him.

These days, Tao Mansion is quiet, with only five or six elderly Tao Mansion families living there. They accompanied Tao Lie, the head of the hometown, and spent day after day. Because he was old, Tao Lie did not sleep well, and a slight movement would wake him up.

Not long after he lay down, Tao Lie was about to fall asleep. Suddenly, a slight sound of "click!" was heard in the room, and then a creaking metal friction sound came. Tao Lie slowly sat up. He could hear the sound coming from the copper box in the corner of the wall. He stared at the copper box nervously, but saw the copper box moving little by little.

Tao Lie pulled out his long sword from the wall, walked up and shouted loudly, "Who is it?"

"Grandfather, it's me!"

Liu Jing's voice came faintly from the ground, "It's me, I'm Liu Jing!"

Tao Lie was surprised and immediately realized that Liu Jing was coming in from the tunnel outside the city. He hurriedly said: "Slow down, don't be reckless, be careful to trigger the mechanism!"

The last time Liu Jing studied the entrance mechanism, he knew that if he did not follow the rules and forced the switch below, the tunnel would be flooded. This was also because he had to lead the team himself. Liu Jing carefully opened the mechanism, moved the copper box away, and the hole appeared.

He jumped out of the tunnel, scared Tao Lie to death, took a few steps back, and almost fell. Liu Jing quickly supported him and said with a smile: "Grandfather, it's me, I'm back."

Tao Lie calmed down and asked, "Are you the only one?"

Liu Jing shouted at the entrance of the cave, and saw soldiers in black jumping out of the entrance of the cave. Everyone held a spear and a bag behind their backs. Soon, they filled several rooms with hundreds of people.

At this moment, Tao Lie suddenly understood what they were going to do, and couldn't help but sigh, "Young Master Jing, you are a little risky!"

Liu Jing smiled and said, "Grandfather, please continue to rest, just pretend that nothing happened, and we will handle it naturally."

He waved his hand and took a hundred elite subordinates to leave Tao Lie's bedroom and run towards the Tao Mansion's house. Tao Lie stood at the door and watched them gradually walk away.

He told Liu Jing that the authentic secret was to let Liu Jing escape from here in danger, but he did not expect that Liu Jing would use it to enter the city by using it. Tao Lie couldn't help but sigh, full of worry.

The more than a hundred people brought by Liu Jing, who were elite soldiers, soon captured two patrol soldiers and learned from them that they had the order tonight, as well as Chaisang's troops and the chief general, which was actually Lu Meng. Liu Jing was very interested. In history, Guan Yu was trapped in this person. Lu Meng crossed the river in white clothes, but tonight it was Liu Jing who deceived the city in black clothes.

With his order, the soldiers took out their bags and put on the armor of the Jiangdong Army. Liu Jing also changed into armor. At this time, his eyes turned to the northwest corner of the Tao Mansion, which was close to the city wall, and the opportunity was hidden there...

A quarter of an hour later, a group of more than 100 Jiangdong soldiers lined up to patrol the city wall and walked towards the north city quickly. Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the urn city, with a checkpoint in front of them, with five or six sentries.

"Correction!" someone shouted in the darkness.

"The sun is bright!" Liu Jing replied in a deep voice.

The command was correct, and several Jiangdong Army sentries came forward to look at them and smiled and said, "I'm still patrolling so late. Thank you brothers for your hard work. Which general is the subordinate?"

Before they could react, more than a dozen soldiers pounced on them like wolves and tigers, and they were about to shout when the sharp daggers cut their throats.

Several soldiers replaced them to stand guard, and Liu Jing led the team to continue walking towards the north city tower, and the suspension bridge and the hub that opened the city gate were in front of the north city tower.

















The North City Tower had been burned down in the last fire, and there were only a few ruins left in the city tower. At this time, Lu Meng and dozens of subordinates were on the North City Tower. Lu Meng was worried and stared at the entrance of Caohe in the distance. He was very worried that a fleet of ships sailed into Caohe in the middle of the night.

At this moment, someone shouted not far away: "Who is it, the command!"

"The sun is bright!"

"Who are you?"

"We are here to change the guards under the order of General Lu!"

The voice came from afar, and Lu Meng could hear it clearly. He couldn't help but wonder, when will he have someone come to change the job?

He walked forward quickly, but there were only a group of more than a hundred Jiangdong soldiers. The leader was a burly young general holding a long spear in his hand. He felt even more strange. Who is this? Why have he never seen him before?

He moved his heart and walked forward and asked tentatively: "Do you have General Lu's command arrow?"

Liu Jing didn't know Lu Meng. He didn't know that the young general in front of him was Lu Meng, the guard general of Chaisang. He pretended to be calm and replied: "We are just following the orders of General Lu. If you don't believe it, you can ask General Lu!"

Before Lu Meng could speak, an impatient soldier beside him shouted, "No, this is General Lu!"

The situation changed suddenly, Liu Jing's face changed, he shouted loudly, and the long halberd stabbed Lu Meng's chest extremely quickly, shouting: "Do it!"

There was chaos on the top of the city, and the soldiers shouted and rushed towards the soldiers in Jiangdong. Lu Meng was wary of it. When Liu Jing's long halberd stabbed, he took a few steps back and drew his sword to slash at Liu Jing's long halberd.

With a loud "dang!", Lu Meng was so shocked that his arms were numb. He couldn't hold the sword firmly and flew away. He secretly screamed in his heart. He rolled back and rolled over more than ten feet away, avoiding Liu Jing's killing attack.

Lu Meng grabbed a spear, shook his hand, and the spear tip flew like a pear blossom, stabbing towards Liu Jing like a storm. At this time, Liu Jing was no longer the awkward boy two years ago. He had understood the essence of the birds paying phoenix spear. Lu Meng's flying spear became very simple in his eyes.

Liu Jing swung his long halberd lightly, with a "crack!", and the crescent moon on the halberd accurately slashed the spear, slashing the spear into two pieces. Then the long halberd swung and stabbed Lu Meng flatly at the chest, neither fast nor slow, and as heavy as a mountain.

The moment Lu Meng was cut off, he knew something was wrong. He reacted very quickly and immediately used the same trick again, rolling back his body, trying to avoid the halberd that was stabbed later.

But this time he was slower, "Crack!" Liu Jing's halberd pierced his left arm. Lu Meng screamed in pain, and suddenly retreated and pulled his arm out of the halberd. At this time, his dozen of his subordinates fought to kill him, protecting him, and running towards the east of the city.

Liu Jing did not chase after him, and the alarm bell sounded loudly on the top of the city. Countless soldiers from Jiangdong rushed out of the military camp and rushed towards the north city. There was not much time left for him.

They seized the north city head, creaked down the suspension bridge and opened the city gate, but when the city gate opened, they still needed to pull down the city to remove the iron bolt from the city gate. A treasury chief led fifty people to kill down the city along the corridor.

Liu Jing took out the bow and arrow, lit a rocket, and tilted his head to the air. He saw a rocket with bright flames flying straight into the sky, drawing a bright arc in the sky.

















Wei Yan and Liu Hu, who were ambushing in the woods, saw the rocket almost at the same time. Liu Hu jumped up and shouted, "Brothers, kill with me!"

A shout of killing erupted in the woods. The three thousand ambush soldiers, led by Wei Yan and Liu Hu, rushed towards Chaisang City. They rushed to the suspension bridge and into the urn.

But at this time, the three thousand Jiangdong Army, led by the general Lu Xun, also came. They controlled the inner city gate. Lu Xun calmly watched the Jingzhou Army enter the urn. When the time came, he shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"

More than a thousand Jiangdong crossbowmen standing at the top of the inner city shot arrows into the urn. The Jingzhou soldiers who rushed into the urn were caught off guard and were shot down a large area.

Chaisang belongs to a big city. Like Xiangyang City, there is an inner city wall with the shape of the "mouth" in the city gate. The part surrounded by the middle is the Wengcheng. One end is the outer city gate and the other end is the inner city gate. At the same time, there is the inner and outer water gate.

There is a coupon door built between the outer city wall and the inner city wall. There is a thick iron gate inside the gate, which must be opened from the inner city. Usually, the iron gate is opened, and the inner and outer cities are connected, but Lu Meng is very cautious. At night, the iron gate inside the coupon door is put down and cannot be killed from the outer city wall.

You can only run along the outer city wall to the south gate and descend the city from the south, so that you can also enter the city of Chaisang, but the premise is that there are no defenders in the south city.

At this time, Liu Jing was furious and shouted loudly outside the city: "Liu Hu, lead the heavy armored infantry to break open the inner city gate!"

This was the first time that Liu Hu's heavy armored infantry had entered the battle. Soon, three hundred dark heavy armored infantry slowly walked out of the city cave.

They have trained this kind of siege more than once, and they are very well-organized. One hundred people in the middle hold a thick hammer, and one hundred people next to them raise shields to guard them, walking towards the inner city gate step by step like a century-legged worm.

At this time, more than a thousand Jingzhou sword and shield troops, led by Wei Yan, also poured in from outside the city. They held giant shields high, held battle swords in their hands, and slowly moved forward with the pace of heavy armored infantry.

Lu Xun looked at this special army in surprise. He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, so he raised his hand and shouted: "Aim at the enemy!"

More than a thousand Jiangdong crossbowmen were brushing the ground and aimed the crossbow at the heavy armored infantry group like long insects. Lu Xun ordered loudly: "Shoot!"

Thousands of arrows roared at the enemy group, but an accident happened at this moment. Only a jingling sound of impact was heard, and no enemy soldier fell to the ground.

There was a commotion on the inner city, and the soldiers of Jiangdong were frightened and uneasy. They had never encountered an enemy who was not afraid of arrows. Lu Xun was also shocked and thought to himself, 'What kind of soldier is this? He is not afraid of bows and arrows?"
